A new electrolyte composed of 4 M LiFSI in dibutyl ether (DBE) is proposed for Li-S batteries. Dissolution of lithium polysulfides is definitely inhibited by DBE. More impressively, the electrolyte ensures a high Coulombic efficiency for Li deposition/stripping (∼99.2%) without dendrite growth. Enhanced cycling stability is demonstrated when coupled with a sulfurized poly(acrylonitrile) (S@pPAN) cathode. This electrolyte offers new insight into electrolyte design for high performance Li-S batteries.

The solid-state lithium sulfur battery (SSLSB) is an attractive next-generation energy storage system by reason of its remarkably high energy density and safety. However, the SSLSB still faces critical challenges, such as sluggish reaction kinetics, mismatched interface, and undesirable reversible capacity. Herein, a high-performance SSLSB is reported using sulfurized polyacrylonitrile with rich selenium-doped sulfur (Se/S-S@pPAN) as a cathode and poly(ethylene oxide)/LiLaZrTaO (PEO-LLZTO) as an electrolyte.

Sulfur chemistry based on solid-liquid dissolution-deposition route inevitably encounters shuttle of lithium polysulfides, its parasitic interaction with lithium (Li) anode and flood electrolyte environment. The sulfurized pyrolyzed poly(acrylonitrile) (S@pPAN) cathode favors solid-solid conversion mechanism in carbonate ester electrolytes but fails to pair high-capacity Li anode. Herein, we rationally design a cation-solvent fully coordinated ether electrolyte to simultaneously resolve the problems of both Li anode and S@pPAN cathode.

Sulfurized pyrolyzed poly(acrylonitrile) (S@pPAN) demonstrates high sulfur utilization, no polysulfide dissolution, no self-discharge, and extremely stable cycling. Its precursor, PAN, directly determines the performances of cathode materials, including the sulfur content and its utilization for S@pPAN composite materials. Adopting PAN with the molecular weight approaching 550,000 as the precursor, the sulfur content in S@pPAN approaches 55 wt %, and its reversible specific capacity was 901 mAh g at 50 °C with sulfur utilization over 98%.

Li metal anode has been considered as the ideal anode for next-generation batteries due to its ultrahigh capacity and lowest electrochemical potential. However, its practical application is still impeded by low Coulombic efficiency, huge volume change, and safety hazards arising from Li dendrite growth. In this work, a three-dimensional (3D) structured highly stable Li metal anode is designed and easily preapred.

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are one of the most promising next-generation batteries owing to their ultra-high theoretical energy density and that sulfur is an abundant resource. During the past 20 years, various sulfur materials have been reported. As a molecular-scale sulfur-composite cathode, sulfurized pyrolyzed poly(acrylonitrile) (S@pPAN) exhibits several competitive advantages in terms of its electrochemical behavior.
